Can Jaspersoft Studio support HDFS as a data source?
No.

who can tell me?
Me.

But... as Massimo mentions, there is a built-in connector for Hadoop Hive. Hive converts a SQL query into a map reduce job which uses HDFS files as its source. In many cases this is a better solution; it's far more flexible. In this case we could say the answer is "Yes", but it imposes the constraint of using Hive.

Also, I have seen custom data adapters for file data sources. These included files accessed via NTFS, Samba, HDFS, and others. So it's certainly possible to achieve this. Perhaps it will become a standard built-in data source for Jaspersoft Studio and JasperReports Server someday.

Also, Jaspersoft ETL has connectors for HDFS. So you can use this to get files from HDFS and put them somewhere else (local file system, database, etc.) for use by Jaspersoft Studio. (It works in the reverse direction for loading data into HDFS as well.)
